Three metronidazole-resistant Prevotella bivia strains harbour a mobile element, encoding a novel nim gene, nimK, and an efflux small MDR transporter.
The study identifies a novel nim gene, nimK, in three metronidazole-resistant Prevotella bivia strains, located on a mobile genetic element (MGE) along with an efflux SMR transporter.
The emergence of metronidazole-resistant Prevotella bivia harboring nimK gene in Japan.
The study identifies the first metronidazole-resistant Prevotella bivia strain (TOH-2715) carrying the nimK gene, highlighting the emergence of nimK in anaerobic bacteria and its potential for horizontal gene transfer.
